Rampant Rbot Trojans dominate MS clean-up job
Computer Fraud & Security · 2006
The Rbot Trojan has overshadowed all other malware infections removed by Microsoft since last year. The Rbot Trojan has been extradited from more than four million computers by the software giant's Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) since January 2005. Microsoft said that 2,000 variants of Rbot get added to the tool every month. The next most common Trojan after Rbot is Sdbot which has been ousted from more than one million computers.
